What Jcrseyman Said About
These Animals Without Gender.

These Animals Without a Gender.
From the Ns,O York Eoening Sun.
The mule mas been traduced, He has q
reputation for deviltry which bellies his
gentle and lamb-like disposition. Docll.
ity, meekness and resignation look out OF
his eyes, aud mis- chief occupation in lite
is to chew bran and corn and lick salt.
At loast that il what the man who runs
Bishops mule yard il Jersey City said.
Now, look a-here !" said ne, skin YOU
see ennything funny bout them ere
meules? leave it to yerselt; you're a
reasonable critter."
The mules certainly did look solemn
and dignihed, with one exception, and he,
she, or it, in playful sport, was trying to
kick the top rail- OIL the fence.
"There's fifty O. them fine critters here,
sir, an efyou wants TO buy good. sound,
corn-fed meule from Kentucky, why.
here's yer chance. Who buys emf Every
body. Meules is gittin's common es
huckleberries in the Shongum Mountains.
An what's more, they'm 10-cents-on-
every -dollar-cheaper'r horses. We sell
'em mostly to canallers. Why, there's

canallers to hear from. They know what
meules 10, them cannallers."
what advantages mas the mule over
the horsep
"Well, in the fust place, the meule
never dies. Did you ever see a dead
meulep Mol l thought so. They never

canal boat, like horse. You never have
to clean 'em. They JIst 40 out in the road
an roll in the sand, an there they are,
says you, cleaner'n a whistle. 'Sides
that, they hain't all the time gittin ne W.
monia an rewmatics, like a horse.
There's a 40-year-old meule In that stall.
He used 70 help drag around AN army

year more afore he'll be ready for the glue

II thought you said just now that
mule never dies?
"Oh, well, OF course, that's Gger'tively
speakln',' as the preacher says. In
course meules dies once in while.
Everybody wot has life an bein' dies.
Why. look at old Methusaluml Didn't

Criticisms by the Mayor
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 31.-Mayor
Smith sent the Councils Thursday his last
annual message, and in the course of it
took occasion to severely rebuke the
lower branch for their action in the i'm
parchment proceedings against him last
fall. Wnen the message came be-
fore the Councils for action a motion was
made and carried that the
message be read in part" The part con-
sisted of the severe language INDUCED In

the reading of this paragraph the message

sensation was caused by this action,

PALMETTO, GA, March 3l.-This morn
ing while James A. Stith and family were
absent from their home their residence
was entirely consumed by fire. 1t is a
total loss. 1t is supposed that the fire

Two weeks ago two colored men
named Hamp Palmore and John Holland

of putting in fish baskets. Their failure

Saturday evening the body of Jonn Hol-
land was found near the same point, also

efforts being made to raise the body TO the
surface, tearing portion OF the clothes
off in the attempt, night came on and
ali further search was abandoned until
yesterday morning when the body was
discovered floating down the stream at
Aderholts ferry. 1t is supposed that in
attempting 70 lower their baskets into the
water the boat upset and both were
drowned. There were no signs or foul
play, and the boat was found bottom side
up two miles below the place where the
bodies were found ON the next day after
their disappearance.

The Spectator 5 Haul.

Sentinel: Up to last Friday, 5,243, 900
trade dollars had been rC deemed, and
$500, 0O0-the first installment from
China-awaiied redemption in San
Francisco. At the current price Of IL
yer the metal in a trade dollar is worth
only 75s cents. Thus on each coin re-
deemed at its face value the govern
ment suffers loss of 242 cents. To
speak roundly, the treasury throws
away a silver quarter for every trade
dollar that it takes in. On the So, 243,-
600 already redeemed there is a loss
of S1.277,719, and the 100000 JUS
received from China will add S97. 4S0 to
the waste, bringing the total amount
redeemed to IS, 643. 600, and the total of
the loss to S1,375, 1879. When the trade
dollar bill was before Congress, the ad-
vocates of the prodigal scheme set
$4,000 as the limit of the amount
that would be sent to the treasury dur
ing the six months allowed tor presenta-
ton. This limit is already exceeded,
and the term of redemption has still
more than four months to run.
Naturally and properly, this excites
The Boston Herald to deep disgust. 1t
declares that 'the redemption of trade
dollars has already entailed upon the
American peoples burden equal to the
entire product of 1922 workers for a
year, and the end is not yet in sight. :"
Somehow it does not recall the fact that
the Democratic party pledged itself to
extraordinary economy. Ii rebuke
would touch only faithless members of
congress, do doubt it would be admins
tered with hearty goodwill. But the
president had tho bill providing for
this senseless waste of public money
before him; the press of the country
called his attention to the full conse-
quence that would follow its approval;
able financiers who had no hand in the
deal" urged him &c veto the bull
Mr.. Cleveland could hardly defend his
approval of the measure on the ground
of his respect for the opinion of con-
gress. He has bruised himself with the
veto of petty pension bills, the entire
cost of all of which for many years
would not amount to the sum the trade
dollar bill presents to mere spectators.
yet he approved the measure 1t was
in Mr.. Cleveland's power and it was
his clear duty to defeat the sche m Q
which spectators carried through con
gress. But he didn't.
